E. L. Sarnoff will be signing copies of her new book Dewitched on Sunday November 18th from 12 - 2 p.m.

After serving time for
Snow White’s attempted murder, the Evil Queen is about to get a
makeover. Just not the kind she expected. Thinking she’s been sent to a
luxurious spa that will enable her to regain her beauty and recapture
her title, Fairest of All, Jane Yvel instead finds herself at Faraway, a
rehab center that caters to Fairytalelanders addicted to evil.

Upon
confronting her love-hate relationship with her magic mirror and the
demons of her past, she is sent back to the world of happily-ever-after.
Her goal: to discover the true meaning of beauty. Her assignment: to
work for Marcella, a demanding Princess-In-Waiting. Jane finds herself
irresistibly drawn to Marcella's dashing fiancé, Prince Gallant, and his
exquisite seven-year old daughter, Calla Rose. Will the Evil Queen who
had no heart end up with a heart that’s broken?

Wickedly funny,
darkly shocking, and deeply moving, DEWITCHED unravels the Snow White
story as we know it and will make you see the evil legend in a new light
as she rewrites her life.

Join us this Saturday, November 17th, when Julia Glassman will be signing copies of her new book Other Life Forms from 1 - 3 p.m!

In Other Life Forms, Sylvie, a frustrated sculptor-turned-waitress, decides to play an
unusual prank: she hangs missing person posters featuring her own face
in order to see who might call. But the prank takes an unexpected turn
when a handsome stranger swoops in to save her from herself and a band
of cocky artists and writers takes her under its wing. Before she knows
it, she’s literally the poster child for an avant-garde movement that
quickly veers out of control. Meanwhile, Sylvie struggles to come to
terms with the death of her college sweetheart, a shy gamer who,
struggling to adjust to life after graduation, retreated to an online
fantasy world and never returned.

Lampooning both the conservatism of Orange County and the privileged
youths who rebel against it, Other Life Forms is a hilarious and deeply
moving account of a late bloomer’s search for identity, a quirky
meditation on what it means to be an artist and a woman when neither
mode of being seems sustainable.
